'is it really that much more than the music industry average? I'll honestly just take your word for it'

no idea but if it is more common than the average but if it is its probably because pop-punk/warped tour core/that whole general scene attracts a lot of teenagers.

always creeped me out how pop punk dudes in their 20s-40s dress like teenagers

Album Rating: 2.5

i thought maybe they just cared about the art, not pandering. i need some time to process this :/

Anyways cool new shiny orange lightsaber > new darkest hour

Pew pew

bruh ive never been a darkest hour fan, dont diss the core if u dont even know what core i like


but also, i do agree that lightsabers can actually be quite cool

I know what core you like I can see your ratings page

"always creeped me out how pop punk dudes in their 20s-40s dress like teenagers"

In relative terms, it's a fairly new genre of music (definitive manifestation '90s/early 2000s), so the youthful bands and their visual/audio signifiers are wrapped up in an ostensibly youthful appearance, whilst these real-life aging mofos cannot compute/reconcile a way to gracefully age-up their look or personas (at the very least).

Basically, the whole thing is being a permanent teenager. Problematic as a genre.

And you like all good two metalcore bands I’m pretty sure so that’s good

johnny truant and??

Beecher and Johnny truant

Actually I also look back fondly on that one textbook tragedy album too

i can accept those choices

a textbook tragedy have some great tracks

also just found this obscure video of theirs

only metalcore band i really listen to a lot these days is Coalesce (2nd and 3rd lps)

Album Rating: 4.0

Huh, I don't think I've really checked out any of those groups (Johnny Truant, A Textbook Tragedy, or Beecher) .

I never really got into coalesce despite trying many times

If we get into the mathcore bollocks I also still stand by board up the house and worse than alone

Album Rating: 4.0

Coalesce are great for a more mid tempo approach to old school metalcore. I've been vibing with them since high school. Speaking of metalcore, I was on a mini Converge kick the other night. They're such a typical choice, I know, but so good. Was watching a great live set of Jane Doe. I think I was vibing with Rorschach and Catharsis before that.

^ Converge transcend the genre, IMO.

I saw converge live once they sounded like shit

But yes agreed they hold up
